How did you get your perfect body?
Where did you get such perfect skin?
How come you're such a perfect hottie?
Not a wrinkle, no double-chin
Grandmother
Grandmother
Tell me why you're still so young?
True beauty is so painful, my dear
The price we pay is shameful, my dear
Don't you know
The surgeon's cut is like the fountain of youth
I'm living proof
Now took at me and tell the truth
'Cause I know you want too
What's your secret for staying youthful?
What's your secret for staying thin?
Won't you tell me and please be truthful
Does the beauty come from within
Grandmother
Grandmother
Tell me why you're still so young?
True beauty is so painful, my dear
The price we pay is shameful, my dear
Don't you know
The surgeon's cut is like the fountain of youth
I'm living proof
Now took at me and tell the truth
'Cause I know you want too
Listen now: This face was born in blood and desperation
So don't look deeper than my skin, dear child
This body cost my soul, there's no salvation
So don't look deeper down within
True beauty is so painful, my dear
The price we pay is shameful, my dear
Don't you know
The surgeon's cut is like the fountain of youth
I'm living proof
Now took at me and tell the truth
'Cause I know you want too
True beauty is so painful
Don't you know
You've got to suffer at the end of the knife
Yeah, that is the price for fortune, fame
Your name in lights
Don't you want eternal life
